Bernal Heights Journal

Photography and written fragments from one small hill.

Any entrance into inner space
requires a waiver of the outside.

But entry inward also guarantees
a different exit outward—

and mostly, traffic.

Energy does not lie.
The work changes when I show up fully.

It stops needing my explanation—
but I still need the moment it meets someone.

Force without depth is only noise.

Anyone can scream.
The real question is what you’re saying.

In Passing

Say it began with —
trucks and truck stops,

a gap in a fence hedge
where someone slipped through.

Vans. Garages.
My spirit raised
in a hilltop haze
to ease — oh, not then.

And then,
a lovely fluid hand.
